  20. I charged my phone upto 100% at 8:30pm. And it droped to 14% at 2:00pm on the next day. I didn't used my phone in between that. What should i do. Is their any autostart manager app.
    The other problem is that the network. No network when switching back from flight mode.
    Find little lag.
    I installed this ROM on last day.
